New World's Record!

Of course I'm the only one competing ...

I recently had 18 tests in a row under 10.0/180.

An old Dr. of mine said 100% of my tests should be under 10, and I use this as my benchmark still. My 19th was exactly 10.0 This may seem trivial for some, but it's a huge accomplishment for me. I think increased activity was the key. My 14 day average also dropped from 8.5 to 6.8

So what's your personal best at some monitoring feat?

Way to go X !!!!!!!!!
I would have to say that my personal best was going one entire day without a reading under 80 or over 150. That was truly an accomplishment for me.
